Saying goodbye becomes extremely difficult when we care deeply for someone but realize that a healthy relationship with them is unattainable.

Remaining indicates persisting in anticipation of unfulfilled changes, enduring harmful behaviors, settling for minimal effort, and sacrificing a part of ourselves to avoid losing everything.

We are aware that leaving will be painful, but it will lead to recovery. Instead, remaining will only further aggravate the wound.

At times, you decide to depart not due to a lack of affection for that individual, but because it is your self-love that prompts you to prioritize your well-being, and with love you say goodbye.

Letting go with love…


In the end,  
we're all just human,  
craving a sense of safety and love.  

We long for a place  
where we can be ourselves,  
where our hearts can rest  
without fear of judgment.  

And maybe that’s what binds us,  
this shared longing to belong,  
to be seen and understood,  

to find that one soul  
who says, "You’re enough,"  
and means it.  

Because at our core,  
we’re just searching  
for the warmth of a love  
that feels like home.

We're all just human

A man killed a large cow, started the grill, and instructed his son, "Son, invite our family and neighbors to join us for a meal... let's celebrate!"

His son went out into the street and began yelling: "We need assistance extinguishing a fire at my father's residence!

Following a brief period, a handful of individuals emerged, while the remaining individuals ignored the plea for assistance. Those who arrived indulged in eating and drinking until they were full.

The father, shocked, looked at his son and uttered to him.

I am unfamiliar with the individuals who arrived, so I am left wondering where our family, loved ones, and colleagues are.

The son mentioned that the people who left their homes came to assist in extinguishing a fire at our house, not to attend the party. These are the individuals who merit our generosity and kindness.

At times, it is necessary to disguise oneself in order to truly understand who genuinely cares for you.

Finding those who truly care

We all have dreams—our own and borrowed ones, says Jorge Bucay.

He explores the nature of dreams, particularly those that remain unfulfilled. He argues that dreams are not merely imagination; they carry the seeds of our desires and serve as the driving force behind our actions. 

The power of dreams is greater than we realize. What would happen if we truly believed in them?

Naturally, these questions shape our reality and promise a future less influenced by selfish desires.

Am I happy or not? The real question is: what do I do with my dreams?

We all have dreams—our own and borrowed ones, humble and grandiose, imposed and forgotten, frightening and exhilarating.

Our lives are filled with dreams.

However, it’s one thing to dream and another to understand what you will do with your dreams.

The dream we’re discussing isn’t something grand; it’s simply the image of something that feels appealing, desirable, or at least charged with a certain energy—whether ours or someone else’s—and this image exists in the world of imagination.

Nothing more, nothing less.

If I let this dream captivate me, if I start thinking "How wonderful it would be," it can turn into mere imagination.

It’s no longer the dream I see when I sleep.

Imagination is the dream I see when I’m awake, one that I can recall, reflect on, and even share with others.

We are indeed filled with desires but desires themselves do nothing except accumulate energy—energy necessary to start the process that leads to action.

What would happen to desires if they never reached the point of becoming action?

We would simply accumulate more and more inner energy, which, without an outlet, would sooner or later erupt in a substitute action.

Desire is nothing but the battery, the fuel, the energy behind each of my actions.


Dreams becomes meaningful when I can transform them into action

Spend or Not Spend your SATS 🤔⚡

Spend them only for buying things directly with bitcoin, because this way you help the bitcoin circular economy, otherwise hold them. And don't exchange them into shit (fiat) money.

Be rare and simple, and don't forget to stack sats!

I like the warm colors, the delicate light, the gentle rain tapping on the window and the little one’s nose pressed against the glass, watching in awe.

I like the sharp scent of the mist, the smell of wet wood, the aroma of mushrooms as you walk through the forest after the rain.

I like the last bunches of grapes still clinging to the vineyard, the sweet pomegranates, the fragrant quinces.

I like the smell of apples in the early morning, damp with frost, the chestnuts crackling on the stove, the corn roasting on the embers.

I like the bubbles of brandy as they drop into the glass demijohn, as it boils in the copper still, the cup of tea and biscuits, the cake rising in the oven.

I like the warmth of the house when you come in at night, the cozy sofa, and a Charlotte Brontë book.

What don’t I like?

Oh, many things, but I don't want to mention them now. I’m not becoming a pessimist! 😁

In general, I like to be optimistic, but in the case of AI evolution, I'm very pessimistic. In other words, yes you should be worried about your future as a scientist. Sorry!😞

Having plenty of time to sit and think about whether you are happy or not is the secret of unhappiness.

Self-knowledge, the famous relationship with the self, is good, but too much analysis and self-analysis confuses and torments you. You can't control everything inside and outside of you. 
Life has the last word. 
So relax!

What is the secret of unhappiness?

People are more complicated than the masks they wear in society.

Is there another life?

Is there another life? Shall I awake and find all this a dream? There must be, we can not be created for this sort of suffering.

>Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye.
Dorothy Parker

I think that creativity emerges from the balance between chaos and control. To me, a "wild mind" symbolizes the unrestrained aspect of my being that dreams without boundaries. This is where innovative ideas, unconventional thinking, and creative possibilities come to light. When I allow my thoughts to roam freely, I experience a feeling of liberation. I freely allow ideas to flow through me without inhibition or criticism. This place gives me the freedom to think in unexpected ways, occasionally messy. However, this untamed nature does not result in anything concrete.

That's when the importance of having a "disciplined eye" becomes evident. I see it as the aspect of myself that revises, molds, and perfects. It's not about controlling the untamed thoughts but rather leading them towards materialization. When I begin a project, I often have many ideas; however, I understand that not all ideas are successful. I must take a step back, observe, and implement a structure.

I believe that creativity flourishes when wildness and discipline combine. It involves allowing your imagination to run wild while also possessing the patience and clarity to shape those ideas into something significant. In my opinion, that is the genuine strength of creativity.
